Hello Melanie_Tham,

You could import the Project to Project for the web but this is a one time project creation process - the project is then managed in Project for the web and not Microsoft Project Desktop - see details here: https://pwmather.wordpress.com/2021/06/09/import-microsoft-project-desktop-mpp-files-into-projectfortheweb-via-the-project-home-ui-msproject-microsoftproject-workmanagement-taskmanagement-projectmanagement-ppm/ 

There isn't a free viewer for Microsoft Project Desktop from Microsoft unfortunately.
