My pet theory wasn't too popular but I'm going to stick with it :)
I wouldn't doubt that Google Classroom and other systems that use Google's SSO will be under strain from millions of students.
Was that this week?
A lot of people would immediately dismiss it because Google has the resources to scale up. But having resources doesn't guarantee someone actually turns the knob that increases the number of instances. (Whether automatic or manual, the adjustment could be too slow to match an unanticipated spike in demand.)
But there's another reason I don't think that's the explanation. Gmail has 1.5 billion active users[1]. Millions of students logging in at the same time sounds like a lot, but if Gmail has 100 million more active users today than yesterday, that's not even a 10% increase!

IMO it's not really about having the resources to scale, but the unpredictable emergent behaviours which can happen when the load profile suddenly changes
Earnest question, don't mean to sound derisive.
script connects to drive and parses list of files within
script copies files into redshift and moves original file to different directory or deletes it
alas what can be done? this is what the company gets for building like this ^.^
I’d like to add something like that to StatusGator but I’m unsure if there’s a market.
> "Downtime" means, for a domain, if there is more than a five percent user error rate. Downtime is measured based on server side error rate.
Edit: I seem to be able to send from some accounts but not others. It looks like emails without attachments are fine, otherwise the drive error messes them up.

The above is a joke just in case that wasn't clear.

Surely no one can send me emails now that gmail is down as most of world is relying on single point of failure, but this is another story.
Moral of this story is - always own your mission critical infrastructure.
Sure, if you have the time and money to own it properly. How far do you need to go to say you own it? Multi-regional servers located on properties that you own?
I'm in Sydney, Australia.
No images either!
Especially because Teams status notifications seem funky today too
Haven't tested the Gmail web interface. I don't use it.
