To do so, I search for a service with adobe, accf or coresync in its name.

Unfortunately, there is no such service with an obvious name.

But the PID of the running ACCFinderSync process is not listed there at all.

However, as mentioned before, its parent process is still launchd so I wonder how this can be.

Unlike most extension points, Finder Sync does not add features to a host app.

Instead, it lets you modify the behavior of the Finder itself.

Finder Sync extensions in particular enable tighter integration with Finder by way of sync status badges, and allowing buttons to be added to the toolbar, sidebar, and right click menus.

For security reasons, each extension lives in its own process.

Hands down though LaunchControl (a GUI front-end to launctl ) is one of the best interfaces to manage these things.

In fact, you do not even need to have a file (as seen in the launchctl submit).

So as long as you register it with launchctl loadsubmit, it will be kept runningstarting.
