Troubleshooting

How to fix Google Drive not working

Google Drive is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach google.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Hard reload Drive and try a private window

    Press Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows or Command+Shift+R on a Mac to skip the cached copy. If the page still fails, open drive.google.com in a private or incognito window and sign in there; that test shows whether an extension or saved cookie is the cause.

  2. Clear site data for drive.google.com

    In Chrome, open Settings and go to Privacy and security. Under Site settings, choose View permissions and data stored across sites. Find drive.google.com in the list and delete its data, then reload the tab and sign in again. This clears a bad session without touching the rest of your browser.

  3. Check your Drive storage quota and empty the trash

    Open Drive and click Storage in the left sidebar to see how much space you have left; a full quota blocks uploads and can stop sync. Empty the trash and remove large files you no longer need, then retry the action that failed.

  4. Restart or reinstall Drive for desktop

    Quit Drive for desktop from its menu bar or system tray icon, then open it again from Applications on a Mac or the Start menu on Windows. If sync still fails, uninstall the app and install it again from Google's download page. Reconnect your account after the install.

Error messages

Common Google Drive error messages

What each message means and what to try. The wording can differ a little between app versions.

  • Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist.

    Means
    Someone deleted the file at that link or never shared it with you.
    Fix
    Ask for fresh link. Check that you opened it with the Google account that received the share because owners often send links to a different address than you use.

  • Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time.

    Means
    You hit a temporary download limit because too many people opened that public file at once.
    Fix
    Wait a day, then try the download again with your Drive copy. Ask the owner to duplicate the file for heavy sharing.

While Google Drive is down: what to use instead

  • Microsoft OneDrive Use it to open synced files, upload documents, and share folders while the service is unavailable.
  • Dropbox Use it when you need to share files or access folders from a web browser and mobile app.
  • iCloud Drive Use it to reach files from Apple devices when your documents are already stored there.
  • Box Use it for browser based file access and folder sharing during a service outage.
Your device

Fix Google Drive on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

Google Drive on Windows

Fix
Restart the Google Drive for Desktop app from the system tray, or clear your browser cache if accessing it online. Ensure your Windows Firewall isn't blocking Google Drive's network access.
Check
Look for a sync error icon in the Windows taskbar system tray. You can also check the Google Workspace Status Dashboard to see if Google Drive is experiencing a widespread outage.
Command Prompt
ping google.comTest whether Google Drive's servers reply
nslookup google.comCheck that Google Drive's DNS resolves
tracert google.comTrace where the connection drops
ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

Google Drive on Mac

Fix
Relaunch the Google Drive app from the macOS menu bar, or check System Settings to ensure it has the necessary disk access permissions. Clearing your browser's cache can also resolve web-based issues.
Check
Check the Google Drive icon in the macOS menu bar for sync status errors. If it fails to connect, try accessing Google Drive via Safari or Chrome to see if the web version is down.
Terminal
ping -c 4 google.comTest whether Google Drive's servers reply
nslookup google.comCheck that Google Drive's DNS resolves
traceroute google.comTrace where the connection drops
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

Google Drive on Android

Fix
Clear the Google Drive app cache from your Android storage settings, or update the app to the latest version in the Google Play Store. Restarting your device can also resolve temporary sync issues.
Check
Open the Google Drive app and check if files fail to load or if a 'No connection' alert appears. You can also test access by opening Google Drive in a mobile browser.

Google Drive on iPhone and iPad

Fix
Update the Google Drive app via the App Store, or reinstall it if it continues to crash. Ensure that cellular data usage is enabled for Google Drive in your iOS settings.
Check
Check if the Google Drive app hangs on the loading screen or displays connection error messages. Try opening Google Drive in Safari to determine if the issue is app-specific.
Same time

Problems at the same time as Google Drive

Since 6 October, all 2 of Google Drive's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

About

What happens when Google Drive goes down

Google Drive stores files. Students and remote teams live in Docs and shared folders, so if it stalls you cannot open files or send working share links for class.

Uploads tend to fail first while downloads and search still respond for a bit. Drive for desktop spins without syncing and the app shows a retry prompt, so you see names but you cannot open Docs or preview images. Mobile edits lag behind. Trouble often stays partial on one device or in one region while the rest loads because login and sync fail apart from storage.

Questions

Google Drive FAQ

Is Google Drive down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. This site does not ping or probe the service itself, so for company confirmation check Google's official status page (https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/). To see if the problem is only on your side, open the service in a private browser window, try a different network such as mobile data, sign out then back in, and clear the browser cache for the service.

Why does Google Drive say 'Something went wrong' when I open a file?
That message points to a browser problem, a stale sign-in, a restricted file, or a removed file. Open the item in a private window and check that you are signed into the right account. If the file sits in a work or school shared drive, ask the owner to confirm your access.

Why is Google Drive not syncing on my computer?
Drive for desktop can pause when it loses network access or hits a file that another program is editing. Check the menu for a sync error, then quit and reopen the app; if that fails, sign out and back in. On a Mac or Windows PC, make sure the folder is not inside an excluded location and that your storage is not full.

Can I still access my files if Google Drive is down?
Yes, if you set up offline access beforehand. On a computer, Drive for desktop keeps a local copy of files you marked available offline; on Android or iPhone, you can make specific files available offline in the app. If you did not set that up, wait for the service to recover and avoid deleting the local cache, because that can remove unsynced changes.

Why can't I upload a file to Google Drive?
Uploads fail for a few common reasons: the file is larger than your remaining storage, your connection dropped partway through, the folder permissions block new items, or the file name contains characters the uploader rejects. Check your Google One storage total and try a smaller file; if the name has odd characters, rename it. If you are on a work or school account, your admin may have turned off uploads for that shared drive.

How we track Google Drive

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Google Drive, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Google Drive, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Google Drive's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
