If you're having trouble with Gmail, Google Drive, or other Google Workspace tools today, don't panic—it's not just you. Google confirmed widespread outages affecting multiple services, leaving users unable to access emails, files, or collaborate in real time. The company acknowledged the "disruption" but hasn't yet provided a timeline for full restoration.

Editor’s Note: Google's ecosystem is the backbone of work and communication for millions, so when it stumbles, the ripple effect is huge. Schools, businesses, and remote teams rely on these tools daily. Outages like this highlight how dependent we've become on a handful of tech giants—and how chaotic it gets when they falter, even briefly.
