I think I've installed all the drivers, but the clipboard only syncs from host to guest. How do I enable guest to host clipboard sharing?

For a Windows guest, I'd access with Xfreerdp instead of the console viewers like Spice, it's probably faster and smoother. In which case you can use the Xfreerdp commandline with -clipboard or use Remmina/KRDC and enable the clipboard with their UI (since both just use xfreerdp in the background anyway).
