Doubt there is a direct driver, but looks like they do have a REST API to communicate.

It can be done, but in general I just try to avoid Sharepoint like the plague it is. What version of Sharepoint? On-prem or cloud? Just about every version of Sharepoint had different types of webservices to integrate to. We have done a few different over the years and then end up rebuilding anything we interface to Sharepoint to be completely in Ignition.
