Finder Keeps Crashing

Since the new Beta Update for MacOS Catalina10.15.5, Finder keeps crashing and is unresponsive when I try to complete a simple task like opening a photo or opening apps. I really need a fix for this because I need this for work and can't have it constantly crashing. I have tried clearing caches and deleting com.apple.finder.plist to help fix it but Finder would always crash.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

After a bit of work I have identified the problem, you just need to disable iCloud Drive and everything should work well, I have notified apple through Feedback Assistant and hopefully they fix this soon. When Finder started you would get a notification saying iCloud Communicator isn't working or something similar, I disabled iCloud and force quit Finder, once it opened again everything was a smooth as butter.
