Bidirectional clipboard not working in VirtualBox

I'm using VirtualBox Version 5.2.6 r120293 (Qt5.6.1).
Guest OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit)
Host OS: CentOS 7
I tried enabling bidirectional clipboard by going to Settings -> General -> Advanced and selecting Bidirectional form the dropdown menu for shared clipboard.
Then I restarted the machine. But it wasn't working.
I have already tried removing and adding the VM to the machine list. But the problem persists.
Any help would be appreciated.

The guest additions are required to be able to use the bidirectional clipboard so that should be the cause of your issue if you don't remember installing it. See here.

@n8te Guest additions weren't installed. So, I installed that and the bidirectional clipboard started working. Thank you for the help.
