I've been successfully using several links that I created in Google Drive and then yesterday, they all just stopped working for the vendors that are trying to view my presentation. Worked with my company's IT and now with Google to try and figure out what has changed. Anyone else had this experience?
I noticed the same issue, starting yesterday. It impacted all my old files too, as well as files for many other users.
I also have been in touch with Google support (still waiting for an answer). Oddly, today I was able to access 3 out of 4 of my projects, but still nobody else's that I've tried.
I found a workaround that may help in the meantime. You can link to the swf file, instead of the folder or an html file. That's worked for several people.
I'll post an update if/when I get an answer from Google.

I am having the same issue. But it's mainly with new content. I was able to get the old content playing in IE, but not in Chrome or Firefox.
I am freaking out a bit because I have no other way to display these courses right now.

Hello Lori!
You may want to look into using a different options for file storage until Google Drive is back on track.
Here are a few free options to consider:
Mine is back up and running, I was also able to add new content. Not aure what happened though
Thanks for the update Linda!
Right on, Linda! I just checked mine and they're all back online too.
I also checked several other people's links (from the ELH Challenges) and they're all up and running again, too.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for word from Google.
Glad to see you are back on track as well Simon.
I would love to hear the response from google. Right now we have no other hosting options that we are using.
If and when I get a response, I'll be sure to share it.
So, 3 weeks and 4 support technicians later, all I got was "this is most likely an outage and they were able to fixed it".
Wow, thanks for the update Simon!
