Finder Keeps Relaunching

Not sure if this has been posted but Finder is relaunching constantly (every ~20 seconds) ever since I upgraded.

Any help appreciated

It was happening to me, as well. If you have DROPBOX or GoogleDrive, shut them down and see if the problems goes away, as it did for me. There needs to be a fix from Dropbox and 'the Google', not Apple.


Also check out this thread as it seems MANY apps are causing this.

As you can see, a crap load of people are having the same issue. Hope some of the suggestions fix the problem for you.

Please post your results.

The problem has to do with the file sync status. Open Google Drive preferences and turn off "Show file sync status and right click menu". This way, you'll be able to keep using Drive without the aggravating crashes every 60 seconds.

I'm on Mavericks and that did the trick.
