When attempting to “send emails or save drafts with attachments,” Gmail users are getting some errors:
- “Message could not be sent. Check your network and try again.”

In Google Drive, “users may see degraded experience while performing upload operation.”
Officially, Gmail and Google Drive are “experiencing service degradation.” Google is aware of the issue and investigating.
