How to say "repository" in Japanese

• 置き場おきばCommon
  nounThe concrete sense: a place to put or keep something — a storage space or depository. It is about physical storage, not a figurative repository of valuable things; for that, use 宝庫.
• 宝庫ほうこCommon
  nounLiterally a treasure house or treasury; as 'repository' it is the figurative choice, meaning a rich store or source of something valuable rather than a plain place where things are put.

Choose 「置き場」 for the plain physical sense of a repository — a place where things are put or stored — and 宝庫 when the idea is a rich store of something valuable, often figurative.
