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 ?

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().
