Google's chat services and Drive reportedly went offline affecting widespread users.

The Google+ Hangouts, Gchat and Google Spreadsheets were affected in the outage that lasted several hours.

According to Tech Crunch, messages in Gmail's chat integration received system messages saying non-receipt of chat messages, while Google+ took longer time to load Hangouts.

Google Spreadsheets were also affected, with users having trouble either accessing existing ones or creating new sheets, while other Google Docs formats appeared stable.

After investigating reports of the issues, Google said that the glitches should be resolved now, the report added.
