Description
Currently, when passing `preservePath` as an option to multer, it seems that its not respected and the path were not preserved.
The input provided is in the format Buffer, passed like so in the test file using `supertest`:
```typescript
const reqInstance = testApp.post(
/upload-multiple
);
// Add files
codeFiles.forEach((file) => {
reqInstance.attach(
`files`,
file.data, // buffer,
{filename: `/some/path/${file.name}.txt` }
);
});
const response = await reqInstance
.set("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
.expect(200)
```
The server is setup like so:
```typescript
const app = express();
const upload = multer({ storage: memoryStorage(), preservePath: true });
app.post("/upload-multiple", upload.array("files"), (res) => {
console.log(res.files[0].originalname) // here it shows only {file.name}.txt, not the full path.
return "OK"
})
```
Have not tried to replicate this using `busboy` yet, will do so if I manage to find time for the replication.
Is this behaviour expected?
