I am unable to copy and paste text copied on my clipboard to the google cloud compute engine instance which I have accessed on my browser.

I have tried firefox and chrome both but it is not working.

I have tried cntrl+c and cntrl+v but it dosent work.

you can copy text from Cloud Shell (I'm assuming you mean that) by selecting text with the mouse (some scissors icon flashes then), and one can paste text with <Ctrl> + <V>... when trying to paste into there, be careful not to trigger the copy command (eg. by first positioning the cursor and only hitting <Ctrl> + <V>, without clicking onto text)... also see the documentation, for further details.
