G-mail down to not send mail
Many people worldwide were confused from 11 AM today of not able to attach files and send mails through Gmail. They were switching off to reboot the phones and the system to send the mail.
But unfortunately, most of them failed to attach the file or send it. It has caused a ruffle in the social media where many complained of G-mail down due to some issue. Only now, the use of G-mail and its importance are known to many as they were not able to send vital and crucial mails worldwide.
G Suit status dashboard
At 10:59 AM in the G suite status dashboard, there was a message that there is an investigation on the issue and will be solved shortly. It continued with two more messages and finally to confirm the status at 1:39 PM.
It seems that Google has identified the issue as not a service outage but only service interruption. Though there is an outage and some in social media claim to send gmails with attachments, still until 1:30 PM, the issue exists.
The best alternative for the Gmail users is to copy-paste the file in the mail and send it to the receiver. As only attaching and sending is a problem, the users can use this way temporarily to solve the issue. Hope Google, with its excellent team, solves the issue soon as millions are sitting before the systems unable to send vital emails.
