Navigate to Project Home (project.microsoft.com). Click the + New Project button at the top of the page. In the Create dialog, click the Import Project button. In the Import from Project desktop dialog, click the Choose .mpp file button. In the Open dialog, navigate to the location where you saved the Microsoft Project desktop file, select it, and then click the Open button. Project for the Web will import the project and then display an Import Complete dialog with a report about the import process. If there are features in the project that are not supported in Project for the Web, such as Baselines for example, the dialog will tell you that those features were removed during the import process. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale. Once you have imported, the Project for the web project will be a standalone project. How can I share a Project designed in the desktop app to Project for the web so other users can contribute to the same project?

You will need to create your project team in your Project for the Web project and then assign those team members to tasks. To create the project team, click the Group Members button in the upper right corner of the page and enter the names of your team members. Hope this helps.
