Gmail down: Google has acknowledged that Gmail is down and the tech giant is working on a fix.
Gmail and Google Drive users in different parts of the globe are experiencing errors while sending emails or attaching files. According to DownDetector, the problem persists in India, Australia, Japan, and several other countries.
Several thousands of users on Twitter have also confirmed DownDetector’s findings. At the time of writing, we were unable to upload, download, or share files on Google Drive. The American search giant has acknowledged the problem on the Google apps status page, “We're investigating reports of an issue with Gmail. We will provide more information shortly.”#Gmail is down for more than 1 hour. pic.twitter.com/UQMYFPH0EO

Google provided an update on the situation sometime later; “We are continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by 8/20/20, 1:30 PM detailing when we expect to resolve the problem.”
For now, emails can still be sent out, but Gmail sends out an error when attaching a file that reads, “Oops, something went wrong. Recent changes may not have been saved.”First Published on Aug 20, 2020 12:34 pm
