OS X asks Where is FinderSyncAPIExtension on startup

Hi, I just reinstalled OS X Yosemite on my 2012 Macbook Pro (not a clean install, just an OS reinstall) and now immediately after logging in I'm getting a prompt to find this application in finder. Does anyone know where it is in the file system? Searching for it did nothing.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

This problem persists into mid 2016 with El Capitan. I'm one example. The "where is ..." window only happens intermittently. I also have the problem reported by

danaschwartz below where Google Drive (silently) fails to sync a file and must be restarted in order to sync it. These two problems could well be related. Is Google Drive experiencing delays in accessing some of its components that make it time out, throw "where is" windows and bypass a sync? What needs to be tweaked in the OS to reduce this kind of timeout?
