Google Drive Outages Reported: Thousands Flag Problems Wednesday Afternoon

At around 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Google Workspace status dashboard acknowledged a disruption affecting Google Docs, Drive, Forms, Sheets, and Slides and said it was investigating.
Tucked inside Google's update, users reported SSL errors such as ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR when accessing Google Drive, and Google's engineering team is investigating the problem.
Downdetector showed reports peaking at around 3,000 by 1 p.m., with about half citing server connection issues and over a third reporting personal file access problems.
More than 800 million daily users rely on Drive, and businesses and schools using Workspace face outages with no workarounds or estimated fix time, Google said.
Following two recent cloud outages, including a Microsoft Azure outage in late October and an Amazon Web Services outage a week prior, Downdetector flagged problems early while the Google Workspace status dashboard showed 'No Incidents' at 1:10 p.m.
