1. A method for preventing spurious file-access operations in a personal cloud-computing environment with source-independent, automated data aggregation, the method comprising the step of:

  • (a) upon receiving at least one file access notification associated with at least one respective given file from at least one computing device operationally connected to the personal cloud-computing environment, determining whether to perform, from a file listing on said at least one computing device, a local file-access operation on said at least one computing device or to perform a remote file-access operation on a remote storage element in the personal cloud-computing environment;

    (b) prior to performing a file-access operation, requiring at least one file-selection notification associated with said at least one respective given file to be received prior to said receiving said at least one file-access notification in order to identify valid file-access requests; and

    (c) performing said file-access operation upon receiving said at least one file-selection notification and said at least one file-access notification;

    wherein said remote storage element includes any storage element on any other said at least one computing device operationally connected to the personal cloud-computing environment, thereby preventing spurious file-access operations.
