- kyrra 8y agoI don't believe Gmail was ever fully down. For me, I was just having problems with attachments. I also noticed app icons in the play store failing to load.
- bshipp 8y agoI experienced issues with Drive last night but it was never fully down. I was trying to work on a 500GB file and the API would drop the link intermittently. I could parse the directory no problem, just couldn't reliably access the files.
- kyrra 8y agoDir layout is likely stored in a different system then large files.
- hateful 8y agoDidn't they just announce shutting down Flickr or something. Plus they could be decommissioning Google+ stuff. Maybe this is related. Just a guess.
- Buge 8y agoFlickr is unrelated to Google and Facebook. Flicker is owned by SmugMug, previously by Yahoo, previously by Ludicorp.
- oarsinsync 8y agoYou may be thinking of Picasa, which had it's EOL announced in 2016, and the web API due to be discontinued 15 March 2019 (tomorrow) Google+ APIs were shutdown 9 March 2019
- hknd 8y ago^ this. It was not fully down, there were issues with their blobstore.
- hiccuphippo 8y agoMy company's tech support sent us an email to tell us our email was down. Fun times we live in.
- zwayhowder 8y agoBack in my tech support days I received an email from a customer "I am unable to send or receive emails" I replied "I am very sorry for your inconvenience, I have resolved the issue". Customers in 1999 really couldn't believe no one had replied to their emails within a day or two.
