Common reasons Google Drive looks down when it isn't

What to check before blaming Google Drive

  1. Open drive.google.com in an incognito window and sign in with one account only — this resolves most access errors.
  2. Check the account switcher in the top right; the wrong profile is the single most common cause.
  3. Check your storage quota, which is shared with Gmail and Photos and blocks uploads when full.
  4. Try the browser rather than the desktop client to isolate the sync app.

Google Drive status — frequently asked

Is Google Drive down right now?

Google Drive is up and responding in 62 ms. That reading is from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, 55 seconds ago.

Is it Google Drive that's down, or is it my internet connection?

It can be either — that's the hard part. The status on this page is measured from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, so Google Drive can look healthy here while your own connection is the real problem. The itsnotyou test checks both at once and returns a single verdict in about 10 seconds.

Why is Google Drive loading slowly?

A slow Google Drive usually comes down to one of two things: Google Drive's own servers are responding slowly — itsnotyou measures time to first byte, and anything over 1500 ms is flagged as slow — or your local connection is the bottleneck. Running the test tells the two apart.

How often is Google Drive's status checked?

Google Drive is probed every few minutes, around the clock, from itsnotyou's monitoring servers. The verdict and the 24-hour response-time history on this page update automatically.

Why does Google Drive say I need permission for a file that was shared with me?

You are almost certainly signed into a different Google account than the one the file was shared with. Because Chrome keeps several accounts signed in at once, Drive opens under whichever is default. Open the link in an incognito window and sign in with the correct account.
