Account is suspended or disabled

In order to find out why your account is suspended or disabled, you have to sign in to your Google account on a browser like Google Chrome. If you see that your account is disabled, you will get an explanation explaining what has happened to you.

When your account is disabled, you cannot sign in to Google services. Google services do not only involved Gmail but also some other products of Google. Basically, you will get an error message or be sent to the Google Support page every time you sign in. In some cases, you will receive an email or text message from Google saying that your account is disabled due to certain reason.

You can try downloading your data by signing in to your account as you do normally, and then see if there is an option to download your data. If there is one, then you can download your data immediately.

Usually, Google accounts are disabled when the owner of the account has not followed the policies of Google, which include Google Terms of Service and the other policies and terms for the products and services owned by Google.

Here are some of the common reasons why the Google accounts are disabled. Keep in mind that not all Google services disable a Google account for these following reasons.

  • Automatic calls or messages
  • Account hacking or hijacking
  • High call volumes
  • Breaking product policies
  • Child sexual abuse and exploitation
  • Harassment, bullying and threats
  • Creating a false identify to fool people
  • Spamming
  • Terrorist content
  • Valid legal requests
  • Use more than one accounts for abuse
  • Sexually explicit content
  • Malware, phishing and the other harmful activities

Sometimes, Google just needs to cancel and remove the account. They always try their best to judge each case. In a few urgent or extreme cases, there might not be notice in advance.
