For people who use Google Docs and Google Drive regularly for work, they received a rude awakening on October 9th, 2015. Users who tried to open documents, spreadsheets, and presentations from Google Drive were greeted with error messages. Some couldn’t load Google Drive’s website at all. The source of the outage remains unclear, but naturally it didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter.
