What is the difference between repository and depository?

Both the term are similar and have no big difference.

A place, room, storage where something is deposited or stored could be called as repository / depository.

According to the best of my understanding, the property / quality which can make difference is the Ownership of the material. If the Ownership of the materials is owned by the storing organization than it could be said as repository, but if the materials are deposited in the store or repository by other persons or organization than it could be said depository.  

I hope you would be agreed with my view.

hi,

A depository is, “an individual, shared or cooperative storage facility where the depositing libraries retain ownership of the materials.” 

A repository is “a facility serving a regional area or a group of participating libraries where ownership of the materials transfers to the repository to facilitate de-duplication.”
