Various Google services were experiencing disruptions on Thursday, as users around the world reported problems with Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs and Google Meet.
The online tech giant confirmed the existence of service disruptions on its G Suite Status Dashboard.
“We’re investigating reports of an issue with Gmail. We will provide more information shortly,” the company said on its status page, with a later statement saying the investigation was ongoing.
Users were reporting various problems with Gmail, with some unable to send or receive messages and others prevented from attaching files or opening attached files they received.
Google Drive users were complaining they couldn’t upload, download or share files, and there were also disruptions in the Google Meet conference call service.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
