The same can be said about other networking protocols,

You don't get thumbnails with sshfs or ftp (if you can
still even use that), etc. I don't know about any options
for that.
False! - we do get thumbnails, certainly with 'sftp' on my
LAN I get them no problems, in Nautilus.

Trying to find a photo from a phone is a pain, they don't
have useful
filenames. You've got to go trawling through them all to
find
something. If you're organised, you might move photos
into sensible
folder names as you go along. And you might decide that
it is worth
turning on thumbnails to find the specific photo out of
20 from last
week's birthday party.
I agree it's a pain getting a photo from a phone. That's
why I copy them all off before trying to find one. I
would certainly not want Nautilus to be trying to make
thumbnails because that would make it almost useless. It
would take the same amount of time to copy the files as it
would to make the thumbnails and I would now have the
pictures in a useful location.
