OneDrive is a cloud storage service provided by Microsoft, and like any online service, it's not immune to downtime or technical issues. If you're experiencing problems accessing OneDrive, it's natural to wonder if it's down.
To check if OneDrive is down, you can visit the Microsoft Service Status page, which provides real-time updates on the status of various Microsoft services, including OneDrive.
The Service Status page is updated frequently, so you can quickly see if any issues are affecting OneDrive.
Microsoft OneDrive Issues
Microsoft's cloud file hosting service, OneDrive, has been experiencing issues worldwide, with users unable to access the service due to a potential DDoS attack.
The company is investigating the matter and has confirmed that only the onedrive.live.com domain is affected, with access to the OneDrive service using desktop clients, synchronization clients, or Office clients not impacted.
Users have been seeing "Sorry, an error has occurred" and "This page isn't working right now" error messages when trying to open the OneDrive website.
Microsoft is taking necessary steps to protect customers and ensure the stability of its services, and is reviewing OneDrive telemetry to determine the source of the service access failures.
The company has confirmed that this is not the first time OneDrive has been targeted by hackers, with Anonymous Sudan claiming responsibility for a similar attack earlier this week that also affected Outlook, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.
