@gowridev hi there.

Formidable already returns a streams (erm, sort of - it inherits EventEmitter and has some more methods, but yea i believe it would pass the isStream check). I'm not familiar with pkgcloud so what method you thinking to use?

var form = new formidable.IncomingForm({ some: 'options' })

form.once('error', console.log)
form.parse(req)

@gowridev Monkey patch will help. An example to upload file to swift:

form.on('fileBegin', function (name, file) { 
  file.on('error', function(err) {
    form._error(err)
  })

  file.open = function () {
    const self = this

    this._writeStream = Swift.upload({
      container: 'private-tmp',
      remote: [require('path').basename(this.path), this.name].join('_'),
      contentType: this.type
    })

    this._writeStream.on('error', function(err) {
      self.emit('error', err)
    })

  }

  file.end = function (cb) {
    var self = this;
    if (self.hash) {
      self.hash = self.hash.digest('hex');
    }

    this._writeStream.on('success', function(pkgcloudFileInstance) {

      // do something to attach pkgcloud file instance properties to formidable file instance
      // 
      // and then
      self.emit('end')
      cb()
    })
    this._writeStream.end()
  }
})
