A collective scream was heard across the internet Wednesday, as scores of people were faced with the same shocking truth: Google Docs was down.*
Docs, part of a suite of Google products, appeared to experience outages Wednesday afternoon — with Down Detector reporting (http://downdetector.com/status/google-drive) widespread problems with Google Drive across the U.S. (http://downdetector.com/status/google-drive/map/)

We reached out to Google for comment, and the company pointed us to a statement on its G Suite page (https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&sid=5&iid=256bb31e589f5037731d2bdc83b66bb8).
"We're aware of a problem with Google Docs affecting a significant subset of users," reads the message. "The affected users are unable to access Google Docs. We will provide an update by 11/15/17, 2:30 PM detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change." Read more...
