Choosing files is freezing MAC after Sequoia Update

EDIT: It seems that at least MY issue is related to iCloud Drive!

I just recently updated to Sequoia and am having major Finder freezing issues, including any application open/save dialogs, Finder window searches, and general navigation. ANY of these actions are immediately followed by a 15-30 second delay, often while showing the Spinning Pinwheel of Death (SPOD).

Drag-and-Drop is a whole other issue, as the selected files are never released when un-clicking the mouse (which makes Force Quitting the Finder almost impossible.

Troubleshooting:

1. Rebooted (no change)
2. Repaired disk Permissions (no problems)
3. Relaunched Finder (no change)
4. Checked if Spotlight Is indexing (it's not)
5. Checked disk space (plenty)
6. Delete the Finder Preferences File (no change)
7. Rebooted in Safe Mode (It actually seemed worse!)
8. Booted into Recovery Mode and reinstalled the OS (no change)
9. Turned off System Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Drive > Sync this Mac (PROBLEM GONE!)

Same bug, even after update to 15.0.1.

Exact same issue, tried that all as well. In my case the issue was solved after SIGN OUT from iCloud on the MacBook (Pro M1 Sequia 15.0.1).

It was cleary an issue with iCloud Drive as it was not appearing on Finder, even tough my user was loged in and I saw the MacBook Pro on my iPhone as a device.

You can solve it by disabling iCloud Drive.

System Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Drive > Sync this Mac

And yet you were able to upload an image in your post... what you are saying that you can't do. Did you use a different OS to post your question?

Ah! I see, sorry.

This fixed it for me as well. Just have to remember to turn it back on again when Apple fix it. I hope they mention it in the release notes...

Same here, very frustrating. Freezes during Disk First Aid run and won't open up any Adobe CC programs.
