Description
## What Happened
There is no obvious option to view large thumbnails. Currently, it appears that the file picker only has a List View with tiny thumbnails. This makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to pick images visually. Even 5.1.7 Hera's file picker had slightly larger thumbnails.
## Expected Behavior
The File picker should have an option to list files in Grid View (multiple sizes available) or List View, similar to how the Files interface provides a Grid or List View.
EDIT: The 6.0 File picker does display a large thumbnail to the right of the list, but this is to report **the lack of a real grid view.**
A user should not need to click though multiple files to see if the thumbnail is the correct one.
## Steps to Reproduce
Use any app that opens a File Picker.
