Can my freelancer see my Gmail address?

[carlyannl]

I am looking to hire a freelancer to create a spreadsheet for me in Google Docs (this way I don't have to worry about viruses or malware in a downloaded file).  I noted in the posting that I was looking for someone skilled in Google Docs.  I narrowed it down to one candidate and confirmed that they knew how to share the file with me via my Gmail address, but it looks like my message might be "edited" - the part of the message where I shared my Gmail address is highlighted in red.  Is the email address visible to the freelancer?  If not, how can I tell them who to share the file with?

Thanks!

Hi Carly,

The freelancer will see your full message including the email address you shared. The red highlight and the pop up message you may see are meant to familiarize Upwork users with messaging features and Upwork ToS.

Just ignore the warning notification. 

You can share GMail address via message. 

It it advised to keep communication through Upwork and all the payments should go through Upwork only.
