Worldwide problems: complaints also from the USA, Japan and India

As a live world map shows in the event of all errors, users in Central and Western Europe are particularly affected by problems.

However, users from the

USA, Japan

and

India

also report

problems.

In the past there have been some short-term disruptions in Google services due to technical problems.

Most recently, the Group's much-used cloud offerings were affected at the end of September due to a server failure.

In this case, however, the cause of the disturbance is still unclear.

More information will follow shortly.
