In my experience, dealing with Google Drive’s “no connection” error can be frustrating. In this article, I will share some effective fixes to help you retry connecting to Google Drive successfully.
Checking Internet Connection
If you are experiencing connection issues with Google Drive, the first step is to check your internet connection. Ensure that you are connected to a stable network before attempting to access Google Drive.
If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, try moving closer to the router or resetting the connection. Alternatively, you can try using a wired Ethernet connection for a more stable connection.
If the issue persists, try restarting your router and modem. Sometimes a simple reboot can resolve connectivity issues.
If you are still unable to connect to Google Drive, you may want to contact your internet service provider to ensure there are no network outages in your area.

To update the Google Drive app, follow these steps:
1. Open the Google Play Store on your device.
2. Search for “Google Drive” in the search bar.
3. Locate the Google Drive app and tap on it.
4. Click on the “Update” button to install the latest version of the app.
Make sure to regularly check for updates to ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of Google Drive installed on your device.
If you are experiencing issues with the Google Drive app, updating it may resolve any connectivity problems you are facing.
Reviewing App Permissions
- Check app permissions regularly
- Review what data each app has access to
- Consider limiting permissions for unnecessary apps
- Keep app permissions up-to-date
- Be cautious when granting permissions to unknown apps
- Ensure apps only have access to relevant information
Resetting Network Settings
To reset network settings on your device, go to the settings menu and locate the “Network” or “Connections” section. Look for an option that allows you to reset network settings to default.
Tap on this option and confirm the reset. This will clear any network configuration issues that may be causing Google Drive to show a “No Connection” error.
After resetting the network settings, try reconnecting to your Wi-Fi network and opening Google Drive again. This should resolve any connectivity issues you were experiencing.
If the problem persists, you may need to restart your device or contact your internet service provider for further assistance.
