It's not explicitly clear what is required to ensure bidirectional clipboard sharing works seamlessly in Linux.
While the obvious is to ensure your guest has the VirtualBox drivers installed, another not so obvious point is to ensure that your Linux host user is part of the "vboxusers" group.
To add yourself to this group run the following command:
$ sudo gpasswd -a vboxusers
Logout of your current host session and log back in.
This is also required to ensure your guest can access USB devices connected to your host, but this is explicitely stated in the VirtualBox documentation.
