I bought 2 Aukey adapters and they were absolute shit. They wiggle too much inside the USB-C and constantly drop in/out of connection. If they weren't so cheap, I'd return them.
Shitty ones I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AUKU1OO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Another reason those adapters are shitty is you are trading one USB-C/Thunderbolt port for a USB 3.0 port when you could really get a lot more. Shit, the more I think about it, the more I'm pissed I even picked them up at all :)..
But moving on...
I picked up this USB-C hub for travel reasons:

I like it because it attaches physically without dangling off of the side of the laptop. It costs more than many you will see on Amazon but I think for two reasons. 1) It's a near-match of the color of the MacBook and made of aluminum so it doesn't feel cheap, and 2) It has HDMI-out since, you know, not everybody has thunderbolt/display ports in 2017, especially if you travel to different locations, HDMI is good to have as an option.
Next, I picked up this enclosure for SDD sata drives:

I popped a 1TB drive in there, and that's where I put my stuff that doesn't need to be on my 512GB drive 24/7. Even VMs run fine from it.
And on a whim, I picked this one up, too:

Why? 3 more USB ports doesn't hurt (the hub mentioned first only gives 2), and it has an Ethernet jack, in those few cases where there's no wifi.
On my 9560 I use a USB-C to Ethernet adapter with 3 built in USB 3 ports.
USB-C has 10g bandwith, which means theoretically you could using gigabit ethernet and moving files to a USB3 thumbdrive (5g bandwidth) and still not have a bottleneck.
I got black/silver Crukee one, so it would match the Laptop more than the white & silver Anker models, but either should work.
