Google drive unable to share

Question

I cannot share on my google drive. I've tried all the usual stuff (turning it off and on again, clearing cashe, cookies etc.), and all I get is the message 'Sorry, sharing is unavailable at this time. Please try again later.'

No ideas of how to go about this.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Clearing cookies and browsing history fixed this for me.

Answer 2

For the Google doc giving this error, {simply closing its web browser tab then reopening it (in the same browser including profile)} cleared up this error & others in my fix result P2IK6O(internal id) of my 1 of 1 case so far of this seemingly very rare error, a solution inspired by the other 3 answers on this page (thanks) and suggesting this was from some rare bug in Chrome and/or Google doc/Drive sharing.

Answer 3

For sure it is something to do with browser settings, I would suggest upload your docs via laptop or desktop and you can later share it from mobile device. This is not the actual solution but a work around. Hope this will help.
