Lightroom 2015.8 Release crashes when exporting files

[RHernandez99]

I take photos everyday and after processing in Lightroom I export selected photos to my Mac (late 2015, macOS Sierra 10.12.3). Every 4th or 5th attempt to export photos results in Lightroom crashing. This is the sequence:

1. In Lightroom Library I select the flagged photos.
2. I choose File and then Export.
3. Under Export Location/Export To/Folder, I select "Choose" to identify the export folder.
4. At that point I get a continous spinning progress wheel. It doesn't stop.
5. I then have to choose "Force Quit" and Lightroom is highlighted as "not responding."
6. I force quit Lightroom.
7. I attempt to restart Lightroom and it is unresponsive.
8. I have to reboot the Mac in order to get Lightroom working again.
9. It will allow me to export photos 3 or 4 times and then the issue occurs again.

Any suggestions for fixing this issue?

I've also had this issue when exporting using two presets at once since this update came out (used to be able to do 4 export presets at one time... older versions of lightroom could handle 6 export presets at one time). The latest version of LR for Mac is so carelessly put together and my buddies on PC claim that the latest version for them uses so much RAM if the program is left open for awhile that it requires a hard restart. Each time it's crashed for me, I've sent in the crash report and it has crashed at crucial times when under extreme deadlines.

For reference, the files I'm using are RAW from dual 1DX's and 5DIII. Computer is mid-2014 15" MBP 2.8QC i7/16GB/1TB SSD w/ Nvidia GT750M 2GB GPU
