I would like words or very concise statements that express the act of working together and sharing items/resources to a common location for the benefit of a group of people that the items are being shared with.

To give you some background, I am struggling to think of a name for my web application which is built to allow groups of users (friends, colleagues etc.) to share digital resources to a central location. As a starting point, I tried to find alternative words for "sharing" but the only suggestions I could find were more suited to describing the allocation/division of resources. I would like words which describe sharing between people to a common location.

Pool could fit. As a verb, it can be used to mean combining the resources of several people or organizations so they can be used collectively.

Definition from the free dictionary:

Pool v. pooled, pool·ing, pools v.tr. To put into a pool, as for common use: Let's pool our resources to finish the project quickly.
