Upwork

Ask the client to send it to your email.

This is a big problem.  I used to do what Irene suggested but with Upwork's new policy of not allowing freelancers to provide personal contact information (i.e. email addresses) before being hired.

 

I'm really ticked because I'm trying to follow the rules and Upwork is making it difficult for me and the prospective client to use the app and share sensitive information.

Personal contact is allowed once a formal Upwork contract is in place, so you should be OK.
