Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you run Apache Airflow and need to integrate with Samba/SMB file shares. Low install friction, permissive Apache-2.0 license, no known vulnerabilities, and active maintenance make it a safe choice. Requires apache-airflow >=2.11.0 and Python >=3.10; verify your Airflow version meets the minimum before installing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires apache-airflow >=2.11.0 and Python >=3.10

What it is and what it does
This is an Apache Airflow provider package that bridges Airflow workflows to Samba/SMB file shares. It packages integration logic for the airflow.providers.samba namespace, allowing Airflow DAGs to interact with SMB-compatible network storage. The package requires an existing Airflow installation (>=2.11.0) and depends on smbprotocol for the underlying SMB protocol implementation, plus apache-airflow-providers-common-compat.
The provider is production-stable, actively maintained by the Apache Airflow project, and supports Python versions 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14. It integrates with Airflow's standard operator and hook patterns, making it suitable for data pipelines that need to interact with corporate file servers or network-attached storage exposed via SMB.
Use it for
- Extract files from SMB shares as part of an Airflow data ingestion pipeline
- Write processed data to SMB shares for consumption by other systems or users
- Monitor Samba shares for new files and trigger downstream Airflow tasks
- Orchestrate file operations on network shares within a DAG
