Today, for first time I got pissed by Google docs service. I have to create and share a spreadsheet with my peer, but I can’t !
All because of strange “Sorry, sharing is unavailable at this time.” error. This error was strange because its coming in Google’s chrome, which is my favorite web browser for a while now.
Here are a couple of screen shots
To solve, I tried cleaning my browser cache etc, still the problem persisted. As I am developer by profession, I tried to see any Javascript errors if coming. Surprisingly I found a couple of them, see the screen shot below:
Why this error is a Show Stopper ?
Because :
-
Its Google Apps account, that is having these errors. Free Gmail/Docs account with these errors could be tolerated for a while.
-
Sharing is key to “Google Docs” success, all beauty of Google docs is killed, if one can’t share. I finally downloaded the doc as Ms Excel document and emailed it.
-
Google Apps, claims they are providing cloud. So that adds huge responsibility to be 100% available on core features, this seems a bug for sure, because of Javascript errors.
Next
I am waiting for this error to be resolved. Lets see what rolls on. Anybody else faced these issues ?
One of my co-workers is having the same issue, and it's a huge problem! We can't collaborate on documents when he can't share anything.
ReplyDelete@Wench, this seems to be fixed now. Its oldy :)
