In Virtualbox the clipboard between the host and the guest OS does not work

I figured out what the problem was, I didn’t have virtualbox-ext-oracle 7.0.18-1 installed

Actually, I figured that out for you:

@soundofthunder

When you updated to VirtualBox 17.0.18 did you also update the guest-additions to the current version? This would mean uninstalling the previous guest-additions (in the Guest OS) and installing the new version.

If you did not also update the guest-additions installed in the Guest OS to match the installed version of VirtualBox then it’s not surprising that features of the guest-additions (including bidirectional clipboard, and drag/drop) might not work.

You’re welcome.

Cheers.
