I'm depending on you telling/to tell me everything.
We're depending on him finishing/to finish the job by Friday.

Can both the -ing form and the infinitive be used without causing difference in meaning?

Thank you in advance.
 
Both of them work, but personally, I would use the infinitive (I'm depending on you to tell me everything/ We're depending on him to finish the job by Friday).
