There's an option in the "In-Game" tab in the Steam settings menu to change the screenshot folder, but it doesn't seem to do anything? I took a screenshot after changing the location through the settings and the screenshot still went to userdata/id/760/remote. Is there any way to change where Steam saves your screenshots?

Many people asked on Steam forums to extend the API provided by Valve to allow access to screenshots but without them there is no easy way to implement what you ask for.
This is the answer of a Valve developer regarding this topic.
We'd like to make lots more info available via the Web APIs and publicly shared screenshots would probably make sense. However, we're always constrained on time and resources as to which features and work we can get done and the public APIs haven't been a top priority. Hopefully we'll be able to catch them up with features and add more functionality sometime soon.
You haven't uploaded the screenshot yet, so it won't be on your profile. in Steam's main menu, click on "View" -> "Screenshots".
You can then pick the game to show at the top, and that will show all the screenshots you've ever made in that game, uploaded or not.

It doesn't say it, but the screenshot folder option only affects the uncompressed copies:
In order to change the location where Steam saves the compressed screenshots (which Steam can upload to Steam Community and are saved in the remote folder) you will either need to install Steam elsewhere or use some symlink trickery:
This is how to do it in Windows (source), for Linux, swap
mklink /Dtoln -s
