Work with Project Plans from Multiple Cloud Services
Project Viewer 365 allows team members to open Microsoft Project MPP files (the proprietary MPP format) stored across a variety of online locations. It provides a straightforward way to inspect schedules without needing MS Project installed.
Where your MPP files can live
- Dropbox
- Google Drive
- Basecamp
- OneDrive
- Box
- SharePoint Online
- Direct URL links
Basic viewing and navigation tools
The app supports common viewing actions such as sorting tasks, applying simple filters, and zooming the timeline to focus on different date ranges. These features make it easy to scan a project plan and check progress or deadlines quickly.
Upgraded functionality with the paid plan
Subscribing to the premium tier unlocks more powerful options: enhanced sorting rules, customizable timescale settings, and a wider selection of filter criteria. These extras help when you need finer control over how the schedule is displayed or analyzed.
Highlighting specific task groups
You can apply multiple filters at once to bring attention to particular categories of work, for example:
- Key milestones
- Critical path tasks
- Items assigned resources
- Tasks that are still open
- Completed tasks
Recommended alternative
If you need a different tool, consider Microsoft Word (commercial) as a paid alternative for producing schedule summaries or exporting plan snapshots in a document format.
