Although I'm not a native speaker, the way I understand it is that "outside" means anything outside a building or natural shelter, whereas outdoors has a bias towards nature, countryside etc.

You don't say "outside sports" but "outdoor sports", for example.
I'd rather say that outdoors should imply outside. I wouldn't tag a picture in the city streets as outdoors, but I would do so for a hiker in the hills or forest, and maybe a jogger in a park.
