If you have the files in the filesystem, an easier way could be webdav. You can connect the Liferay documentlibrary as a filesystem and just copy & paste files in the windows explorer. See screenshot.

But it depends on one thing: Do you need metadata? e.g. to preserve author information and other stuff?

Rabel,

Thank you for quick reponse.

Yes i have metadata , needs to migrate from sharepoint to liferay.

Is there any direct tools available to achieve this? or we need to write custom code using DL API ?

I don't think there are any tools. You will probably need to write custom code to import at least the metadata information.I usually do stuff like this in gogo shell commands. Such commands are easy to add and simple to execute. With that I don't need to implement a frontend, I can just type "import <path>" or something like that in the gogo shell to start the import.
