DFSFileProviderExtension quit unexpectedly. Message keeps coming up

Commonly that means system extension is no longer compatible with the macOS version.

, but...

This worked for me:

"Goto - Settings - Privacy & Security - Extensions - Finder Extensions - Enable Google Drive and turn on Google Drive 

Goto - Settings - Privacy & Security - Extensions - Added Extensions - Find "Google Drive Finder Helper" and which that on."

Had the exact same thing on 2019 macbook. Managed to fix with:

• Uninstall Google Drive app (move to bin, delete bin)
• Reinstall Google Drive - skip all the steps about selecting folders and it will use your previous drive location that you had

I also updated my OS, but don't think that's related

Seems to have fixed the issue - what a palaver! jeez

I am getting the same thing as of today. I started my Mac (I always shut down) and when I opened Chrome I saw it had updated. Then I got a message that Google Drive was not connected and I could open nothing from Google Drive in Finder. And, I get the DFSFileProviderExtension quit unexpectedly message continually whether I choose to report or ignore it. It keeps popping up.

I restarted. Same

I shut down all the way then started again. Same

I reinstalled Google Drive. Same, except I seem to be able to get to Google Drive.

Nothing seems to get rid of the error dialog box. I've left it open on my desktop while I do other things and am hoping nothing bad is happening in the background.

Mac Book Pro, 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

I'm experiencing the same... Have also up to date OS version and restarted as well. I'm new to this community... is there a way to go for technical support directly from Apple?
