Storage vs depository
Hi,
By definition,
* depository
depository is a place where objects can be stored safely.
* storage
If you refer to the storage of something, you mean that it is kept in a special place until it is needed.
What's the difference between these two? If are they interchangable?
Thanks a lot.
