Shared clipboard requires you to install Guest Additions in the guest OS. See section 3.4.2 in version 6.0.14's manual.

You've got to be careful with the terminology. There are two distinct things:

• The Extension Pack (ExtPack) gets installed on the host and it has to match the VirtualBox version. It provides functionality such as USB2-3, Webcam, VRDP, PXE, PCI passthrough on Linux hosts, VDI Encryption. You have to download it and install it separately from the main VirtualBox program, due to its license.
• The Guest Additions (GAs) get installed on the guest and it would be good to match the VirtualBox version, for anything other than enhanced graphics support. It provides functionality such as shared folders, shared clipboard, drag and drop, pointer sharing (for PS/2 mice), guest control, enhanced graphics support. You do not have to download it separately from the main VirtualBox program, since it comes bundled with it.
