Re: I organized a massive amount of files on the desktop app, but sync seems to have stopped.

A reinstall wont change any data as long as you do it as a reinstall and literally download from http://www.dropbox.com/downloading and run it on the device. 

In future what its worth doing if you ever need to huge changes like this is pause/close Dropbox, do the moving around and then restart it - that way it plays nicely.
