Google services like Gmail, storage hit by Asia Pacific issue
Company investigating cause.
Google users are seeing outages of services including Gmail and Drive in Australia and throughout the region, with the company investigating the cause.
The web giant said in a status advisory that it is “investigating reports of an issue with Gmail”.
“Affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages, high latency, and/or other unexpected behaviour,” Google said.
The company later said that "users will have issues accessing or attaching files in various products."
"This includes Gmail and Drive. Gmail: Attaching or accessing attachments, as well as accessing and saving draft emails and sending emails. Drive: Upload and download of files," it said.
The problems started at about 1.53pm AEST and were ongoing at 4pm.
An outage heatmap showed extensive problems being experienced on Australia’s east coast, as well as in Asia Pacific regional centres like Singapore and Japan.
Google also said it was seeing increased error rates on Google cloud storage, and with Google App Engine.
It said engineers were currently working to mitigate the impacts to enterprise services.
