How do I know if Gmail or Google Drive is down?
Check the dashboard on this page. If the service shows the disruption or outage icon today, Google has an incident. If it shows as available and it still does not work for you, try another network or someone else at your company to see whether the problem is on your side.
Is this the official Google dashboard?
Yes. Google publishes the dashboard and it is shown as-is, with no changes to the data. We embed it on this page so you have it at hand. TheNocGroup is not part of Google.
How often does it update?
Google updates it as it detects and confirms incidents. The time of the last update appears above the dashboard, and the Refresh button reloads the data.
What does "Service information" mean?
It is a notice Google posts about a service. It can be a limited issue or an announcement. Click the icon to read the details and see whether it affects you.
Where can I see past incidents?
In the same dashboard, with the "View incident history" link. It lists past incidents for each service.
Can I get notified when there is an incident?
Google publishes a feed of the dashboard that you can add to a feed reader. You will find it in the link below the dashboard.
The dashboard is green but it does not work for me. What do I do?
Try an incognito window, your phone's mobile data and someone else at your company. If it fails only on your network or only for one person, the problem is not Google's.
Why does Google Workspace fail only at my company?
It can be the internet connection, DNS, the firewall, an account policy or a device with problems. If it happens often, it is worth having IT support look into it.
