Speed for one thing. Thumb drives, specially USB2.0 only drives are SLOW writing files. Even USB 3.0 thumb drives are slow when it comes to writing lots of tiny files. If you have a performance 3.0 thumb drive, this is much less of an issue.
I don't see how using a network is worse than using sneaker net. You're not using a thumb drive to view this post are you? Networks exist to share data. Thumb drives exist to store data.
