Finder Crashes and restarts (blinks)

Since installing Maverick my Finder repeatedly crashes. That is it restarts (blinks) about every 15 seconds or so.

Has anyone else experienced this, and how do I fix it?

Thanks!

I just might have answered my own question....

On the advice of another thread I quit Google Drive. (As it launches at computer startup/login and sits in the "Finder Bar".)

This fixed the problem immediately.

I had this same problem. I don't use Google Drive, but I used to use Dolly Drive. Removing the DollySpaceTools folder did the trick.

Startupdiskname/Library/Application Support/DollySpaceTools

(This was driving me nuts!)

BTW, Dolly Drive has a note on their support page that says they have an update that is Mavericks compatible. I did not have that update installed when I installed Mavericks.
