Copy the Dropbox file link and add it to a URL column in Glide. Then make a template column to replace dl=0 in the link with raw=1.  
This template link column can be used for the web embed component.

For viewing the file as an image or opening the file in a new tab make another column and replace the db=0 with db=1.

I’ve only tested this with PDFs.
