MacOS – El Capitan: every app crashes when browsing or saving file

crashfilemacos

Yesterday I updated my Mac to El Capitan. I have a serious issue, as every app is crashing, when I am trying to browse files.

Examples:

  • Photoshop crashed when I try to save a file, or place a file (crashes when I try to browse)
  • (tried on chrome and safari) – when trying to upload files on Facebook conversation, the app crashes as I try to browse/pick a file.

What do I do now?

I know this is old, but here are my two cents:

I experienced the exact same issue you describe. What resolved it for me was to delete the Finder's preferences plist file

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

Then log out/in, or reboot, and problem solved.
