Detailed list view, is useful for large amount of files when you want to display them in a specific order (by name, by date, type, size) because you can click, for example, on the "Name" column and that will rank all the files by name in alphabetical order.

Thumbnails view, can be useful when you have pictures or videos that you could easily recognize at a glance. When they are displayed as thumbnails, you do not have to open each image to find the one you are searching for.
