Python SDK for Azure Storage File Share, covering SMB file shares, directories, and file operations in the cloud. Supports both synchronous and async clients, connection string and Entra ID authentication, and range-level file access.
Direct SDK access lets you manage file shares, directories, and individual byte ranges in Python without wrapping Azure CLI commands or maintaining REST request boilerplate.
When to use it
- Mounting a shared file system across multiple Azure VMs using SMB
- Uploading and downloading large files in chunks to avoid memory pressure
- Creating share snapshots before running destructive batch operations
- Listing directory contents programmatically to build a file browser UI
- Copying files between paths within the same Azure storage account
