I am currently reorganising my thoughts around adding to IPFS and updating the media metadata with the mimetype, hash and a url (generated from a URL template).

If we switched from the node-fileupload approach to multer, IPFS support could be implemented and logically separated as a Multer storage engine and benefit a wider community of developers. _handleFile and _removeFile would then be mapped to pin (implied on add) and unpin actions with the IPFS daemon. It also allows for adding a ReadableStream instead of a Buffer, which improves memory handling.

The public and private IPFS daemons may as well be linked to each other by an ipfs-cluster.
