Hi All,
we have a requirement to integrate Share point using 19.1 . We should be able to upload a document , Create a document , Edit a document (Optional) in a Appian form.
Below are the questions :
1. What is the best way to do the integration ?
2. Can we use a HTTP connector to do the integration ?
3. What is the Authentication type used?
4. Any access level modifications which needs to be done on the Sharepoint side to achieve the same ?

Have you already looked at the documentation? There's several pages that describe the functions available in 19.1, for instance there is a Copy Document from Appian function page that describes how to upload documents to sharePoint.
The SharePoint connected system was not introduced until 19.3, so you will have to use the existing functions instead to perform your integration.

Primarily it depends on your requirement. If user is triggering the integration, file upload or download use Appian sharepoint connector function. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.1/fnc_connector_shp_a_shpcopydocumentfromappian.html

Yes. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.1/HTTP_File_Download_Smart_Service.html
Note: document upload service is deprecated.
lavanyan131 said:3. What is the Authentication type used?
AFAIK, In Appian 19.1 you can only use basic authentication.
lavanyan131 said:4. Any access level modifications which needs to be done on the Sharepoint side to achieve the same ?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Depends on if basic authentication enabled on Sharepoint site, site permissions etc.

You could use a!webContentField() I didn't try this recently when I tried few years ago Sharepoint didn't allow editing when I used a!webContentField().
