Can't attach files to Gmail messages.

[giddyup]

It's been as slow as a wet week with opening mail and sending mail, and now I can't attach anything to my mail. I have cleared cookies, done a scan, restarted my computer, it still won't work. After reading comments online it appears I'm not the only one. Anyone have a solution?

I have just sent an email with an attachment by Gmail....No probs.

Perhaps you have picked up a bug, use a different scan..

I had trouble about 3 hours ago. Drove me nuts, kept saying oops something went wrong.

 

Changed my password and it worked. Dont know if it helped though, maybe just a short glitch in gmail.

Google has some technical issues today.

I was certainly having issues around 3PM as were many others.

 

Also no access to Google Drive.

Keep an alternative email handy for days like this. I recommend protonmail.

Don't panic. Google had some server problems. If it still doesn't work please let us know the error message. There is a size limit for attachments. If you are above you will have to link the attachment with the help of Google Drive.
