Mavericks Finder keeps crashing!

Since upgrading to Mavericks the finder crashes. Pop up box appears briefly, doesn't not show drives or menu bar. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Yes, it is Google Drive that was creating problems for me as well. Thanks. I did not see the same window/options as in the picture above from "fwmaietta", but I de-selected all folders from sync preferences. That did not solve the problem. Then I removed Google drive from the top bar and it did solve the problem. The finder is not crashing for now.

Just to let you know its 3 years later and this solution is still helping people. Finder stopped working all of the sudden. I could use it for 30 seconds and then I had to "killall Finder" to make it work again. I unchecked Show file sync status icons and it is fixed. Thanks so much fwmaietta for posting this here. I would never have found it on the forum topic you linked to without your help :-)
