      Hey guys,

      Myself I found the answer for the problem.

      Squid need to be given access to use Google api.

      In Squid proxy filter,

      Add new category for adding some of the domain name, those domain names mighty be blocked in the  group categories.

      For example the category under social chat , web.whatsapp.com mighty be blocked.

      So we need to manually specify to open the website.

      Add the following domain ( copy paste below all sites )

      drive.google.com googledrive.com plus.google.com hangouts.google.com web.whatsapp.com accounts.google.com docs.google.com sheets.google.com slides.google.com talk.google.com gg.google.com script.google.com ssl.google-analytics.com video.google.com s.ytimg.com apis.google.com googleapis.com
