Google is updating users on the status of the issue on the G Suite Status Dashboard. The dashboard includes status reports for specific services and individual updates.
Users first reported issues on the morning of 20 August. By noon, Google said that Gmail functionality had been restored for some. However, others may still experience issues.
The same applied to Google Drive.
A full roundup of issues reported to Google include: Gmail sending issues, Meet recording issues, Creating files issues in Drive, CSV user upload issues in Admin Console, Posting message issues in Google Chat, Sites adding new pages issues, Keep issues, and Voice mail issues.
