I would not open the file directly - but download a copy to avoid potential issues with sync errors.Opening a project from your computer is pretty much the same as opening a file in any Office program:Ĭlick Computer, and then on the right, choose a recent folder or click Browse.Ĭlick the project you want, and then click Open. Directly trying to open throws the error you note. If I use IE - I need to select "Save Target As" to download a copy of the file.The old project file is downloaded and I can open as needed.If I click to view the version history, I can right click on a previous version, select open in a new tab.When I view the site assets, I can see the current version.I open the task list in Project using the SharePoint option.

I exit Project and go to the task list.I go to the Site Assets library for the newly created SharePoint site and ensure that versioning is set correctly.The Project file is stored in the Site Assets library. That creates the SharePoint site along with the Task List. After saving the file, I choose File > Share, Sync with SharePoint.I create an MS Project file in Project 2013 SP-1.I am not using the Foundations version of SharePoint but am using SharePoint 2013 online. Okay, I am now at a place where I can do some testing.
