Yesterday Google and its main platforms had a drop, among which was Gmail, YouTube, Docs, Drive, Play Store, Maps and etc… There were several fundamental services in our daily lives that stopped working or simply gave the error 500.
I remember when my cousin was in his online class, he complained about her falling down, other classmates of his had the same problem. This fact occurred because your online classes are associated with the Classroom, which also fell, but why these falls? However, Google came forward and said that the reason for such a problem was a problem with internal storage quota management.
However, anyone who believes that the fall of Google, YouTube, Gmail, Docs, Maps, Drive and other services happened only in Brazil is wrong. users in U.S and in the countries of Asia and Europe they also said they had this problem yesterday morning. In other words, it was an almost global fall that affected millions of people around the world.

How long did the fall of Google, YouTube, Gmail and other services last?
It all started early yesterday, around 8:30 am and peaked at 9 am, but then it started to slow down the drops and started to normalize. However, it is estimated that the fall that occurred in the morning lasted less than an hour, about 45 minutes more precisely. However, in the evening, I heard about some reports where they tried to enter YouTube and the videos did not load.
In this period of pandemic, many digital platforms and social media are showing instability, last month Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram fell. Anyway, if I were to take a guess as to the reasons for these problems, I'd say it's linked to the sudden increase in people on the internet. We all know that the Pandemic made everyone stay at home and use the internet to communicate, but that was just my guess.

What to do when these services go down again?
Well, I could recommend you to download a game, but what if the Play Store goes down too? Yesterday this Android service wasn't working, that's why I recommend that I have a little game installed on your cell phone.
But Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp did not show instability, so it would only be to resort to these social networks until everything is normalized. And if by chance the internet of the whole world goes down? Then you don't have much to do but go read a book or leave your room and walk down the street until everything settles down.
