No. These files are streamed directly to mongodb. If you want to stream twice you can use the default file storage and then use the standard mongodb streams or this module to pipe to the database depending on your needs. If you want a different order then use this module to store in the database and then use the standard mongodb streams to move from there to the filesystem
