Complaints from users across the world started to pour in at
about 9pm IST. According to Web analytics firm Outage Report, users in Europe,
North America, and Japan were most severely affected. DownDetector corroborated
some of these reports.
Google Drive, in particular has had faced several outages in
the past few days. Just last week, the service was down for some users in
Brazil and other places for about one hour.
On its dashboard page, Google noted that it was aware that
people are facing issues, and said that an investigation into the matter was
underway. "We're investigating reports of an issue with Google Drive. We
will provide more information shortly. Users have reported slowness and
connectivity errors," the company noted.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the issue, but it's
certainly not a good day for Google's services to run into troubles. Google's
rival Apple will be showcasing a range of iPhone models and software features.
