This is a Cellar Spider, probably Pholcus phalangioides. They can be found both indoors and outdoors. They’re totally harmless to people and pets. If you have plants or produce with fruit flies, these spiders are fantastic at controlling them. I have a few living in my house plants, they drink from the water I give the plants and eat any arthropod pests among the plants.

This is like the only spider I allow to live in my house. We had a carpenter ant problem in my house and couldn’t believe that the spider was actually eating them.
