Google, of All People, Ran Out of Storage and That Crashed Gmail, YouTube and Everything Else

Google has explained that the error on Monday was caused by an "internal storage quota issue" that handles authentication. To put it simply, the internal system that handles data storage for each Google service in order to function properly did not work as expected.

The system was unable to manage Google services like Gmail, YouTube, Drive, and more as the storage limit was over and the system failed to distribute data causing services to crash.
