One possible method for creating a "Tiles" view similar to Windows File Explorer using a flex container for checkboxes and their labels is as follows:

1. Define a flex container for the overall layout of the "Tiles" view. This could be a div element with its display property set to flex, and its flex-wrap property set to wrap.

2. Within the flex container, create individual "Tiles" as div elements. Each "Tile" should have a fixed width and height, and its display property should be set to flex as well. This will allow you to create a grid layout of "Tiles" within the flex container.

3. Within each "Tile", you can add a checkbox element and a label element. To align the checkbox and label horizontally, you can set their display properties to flex and use the flex-direction property to specify a row layout.

4. You may also want to add some padding and margin to the checkbox and label elements to adjust their positioning within each "Tile".

5. To add some styling to the "Tiles" view, you can use CSS to set the background color and border properties of the flex container and each "Tile". You may also want to use CSS to adjust the font size and color of the checkbox labels.

Here is an example HTML and CSS code for creating a simple "Tiles" view with checkboxes and labels:

HTML:

<div class="tiles-container">
  <div class="tile">
    <input type="checkbox" id="tile1">
    <label for="tile1">Tile 1</label>
  </div>
  <div class="tile">
    <input type="checkbox" id="tile2">
    <label for="tile2">Tile 2</label>
  </div>
  <div class="tile">
    <input type="checkbox" id="tile3">
    <label for="tile3">Tile 3</label>
  </div>
  <div class="tile">
    <input type="checkbox" id="tile4">
    <label for="tile4">Tile 4</label>
  </div>
  <div class="tile">
    <input type="checkbox" id="tile5">
    <label for="tile5">Tile 5</label>
  </div>
</div>

CSS:

.tiles-container {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  background-color: #f2f2f2;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 10px;
}

.tile {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  margin: 10px;
}

.tile label {
  padding: 10px;
  margin-top: 10px;
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #333;
}
