Anyone having issues with finder crashing? I've also been having issues with any application (3rd party or apple programs) allowing me to "upload file" or "save pdf" or "add file" from or two my computer. It's to the point that even force quitting finder, it still never relaunches. I keep getting spin dumps and such and have just been reporting as much as I can. If I hit "add file" to a spot to upload a document, it thinks, gets the spinning wheel, and then just never opens finder to select the document. M3 pro.

Do you mean options in the share menu? I just activated everything possible from external apps. I don't find those three options you mention but everything I tried in there seems to work for me.

Strangely Finder did not crash a single time since Beta 1. Only when I tried things like Xtra Finder, Total Finder and Path Finder it crashes often, but those three didn't also work very good in Sequoia.

In Sequoia I very often had to force quit Finder because something very simple didn't work anymore, like copying or moving files. Either nothing happened or the copy indicator showed up and didn't move. Or I couldn't click things in the side bar anymore while the main part of the window still worked.

This happened about once or twice every day and was only on my iMac I think. Don't know when it started, maybe with some beta in December and it still was there until I stopped using the iMac in February or March.

It seems I was the only one with this problem. At least in those threads here no one confirmed it. Also the mini I bought by the end of December wasn't affected. I used both at the same time with the same versions for a while. They had been even connected and could share mice and keyboards and drag files over from one Mac to another.
 
hm okay
