Google Workspace Storage Issue – Friday, March 27 1:30 p.m.

Update: 2026-03-30 7:45 AM

This issue has been resolved again by Google. CCS is following up on why it happened on Friday, why it recurred this morning, and what Google can do to ensure that it does not happen again.

Update: 2026-03-30 7:14 AM

This morning Google Drive was reported offline again due to a recurrence of the storage limit problem. CCS has urgently escalated the issue with Google.

Update: 2026-03-27 4:45 PM

Google has resolved the storage limit problem which was the result of a misconfiguration within their system. By now the vast majority of accounts should be working normally. No data was lost as a result of the storage misconfiguration issue.

Update 3:21:16 PM

As a result of the data storage issue in Google Workspace, community members are unable to:

  • Create new files in collaborative content creation apps like Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, and Forms.
  • Edit or copy files.
  • Add new files or images to Google Drive.
  • Record new meetings in Google Meet.

At this time, no other services (for example, D2L Brightspace) are impacted.

Our Computing and Communications Services team is currently investigating with Google and are working to resolve this as soon as possible.

We understand this outage may unexpectedly impact our community members as they are completing their activities today. We ask instructors to be flexible with students with regards to any impact to assignments or exams, and that leaders are flexible with employees.

We will continue to provide updates as they become available.

Please accept our apologies.

D2L Brightspace course access issue – Friday, March 13

We are currently investigating an issue where some students have temporarily lost access to their Winter 2026 courses in Brightspace.

  • Status: Our technical team is actively working to restore enrollments.
  • Data Integrity: Please be assured that no course data, grades, or student submissions have been lost.
  • Action Required: No action is needed from students or faculty at this time.

We appreciate your patience and will post a follow-up announcement as soon as access is fully restored.

Update at 4:02 p.m.:

The technical issue affecting Winter 2026 course access has been resolved. Full access for all impacted students is now restored. All enrollments have been reactivated. No course data, grades, or student submissions have been lost.

The root cause of the disruption was traced to a programming error introduced in TMU’s resource and identity management system this morning. This issue affected approximately 14,000 enrollments between 8:00 and 11:15am. The error was corrected and the enrollments restored. All enrollments were restored by 2:28pm. CCS apologizes for the problem this error created and will work systematically to ensure that something like this does not happen again.

Action Required: If you still do not see your course, please log out and log back in, or clear your browser’s cache

Please accept our apologies for the trouble this has caused.
