Hey guys what suddenly happened to the Google "create docs" app? ?

I've gotten used to emails, Y!A answers, and even facebook posts diappearing in a puff of smoke when wou send them, never to be seen again, so anything longer than a sentence or two, I'll compose it in a text editor first then copy-paste into the online box.  In create you have the option to make a new blank document, grid, or maybe template, I had been using "Create">"Docs">"new document" to type up stuff, or to dump the contents of a block of text into the editor.

  I would save it under some cheezy filename and I didn't even know about the share/export feature until tonight.  The problem is that when I went to type up some stuff, I tried to open the app and a bar scrolled around and around and a message box said something like "checking info".  I thought it was just updating the app or something.  Then it said that I needed to sign in.  

  Okay.  Sometimes after an app has been hanging around for most of a year, and there have been a couple of low battery shutdowns, it will forget some of the information like staying logged in.  I'll just retype the info, it'll be good after a restart, and I'll type the email address and password if need be, maybe it needs a fresh start, yeah that's it...

...AND THEN.... |MORE

Update:

  WTF!?!  What is this &^$#@!  (see the pictures.)

  That is the ONLY account that has EVER been used on that tablet.  (these are from tablet screen shots.)  So I quickly share/send copy of the files on Google Drive to yahoo mail as attachments. Phew!  Now how in the world can I access the create docs thing when the only email address it has ever used gets rejected?  I can actually call up old docs by going into the google drive, (I was about to say that I couldn't make any new ones...)  But,

Update 2:

 But I opened up google drive, clicked on the colorful plus (+) icon in the corner and clicked new document, made a new document, wrote a sentence, saved it under a new filename, and even exported it as a text document.  That's basically the same process except going through DRIVE then calling the other app from the drive app instead of accessing it directly... a bit kludgey, and not really a solution, besides, how much longer before I'm kicked out of DRIVE as well?   

Update 3:

   Really, I just want to know WHY it kicked out this email address out of JUST "Create Docs, sheets, etc. And NOT Gmail, Drive, Play Store and the various others.  Do I need to reload the App or what?   (See pictures)

Update 4:

Well anyway it was a screenshot that Y!A keeps

saying,"something went wrong. Please try again

later."

  It said:
