I tested and what I see is that hackeny also use for files the name "file".
I don't see how I can customize this as time mailgun search for attachment.

Also looking to
https://github.com/benoitc/hackney/blob/de35c1ec93dca89568b8b32cf053d82277a90762/src/hackney_multipart.erl

line 228 this seems hard-coded:

Disposition = {<<"form-data">>, [{<<"name">>, <<"\"file\"">>}, {<<"filename">>,
<<"\"", FName/binary, "\"">>}]},
